The first book in the Tiffany Aching series - five Discworld novels from master-storyteller Terry Pratchett.

Tiffany wants to be a witch when she grows up.

A proper one, with a pointy hat. And flying, she's always dreamed of flying (though it's cold up there, you have to wear really thick pants, two layers).

But she's worried Tiffany isn't a very 'witchy' name. And a witch has always protected Tiffany's land, to stop the nightmares getting through.

Now the nightmares have taken her brother, and it's up to her to get him back.

With a horde of unruly fairies at her disposal, Tiffany is not alone. And she is the twentieth granddaughter of her Granny Aching: shepherdess extraordinaire, and protector of the land.

Tiffany Aching. Now there's a rather good name for a witch.

Plenty to laugh at here, not least Pratchett's ability to put a 90 degree spin on the familiar

The Times

A clear example of a comic fantasy classic and, well . . . Crivens! It deserves t'sell a millyun copies

Sunday Express

A funny and thought-provoking fantasy, with powerfully visual scenes and characters that remain with readers. A glorious read
